CHAPTER 6: CHEMICAL NAMES AND FORMULAS CHAPTER 16: COVALENT BONDING
6.1 Introduction to Chemical Bonding A chemical bond is a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together. There are two types of bonding: Ionic bonding is bonding that results from the electrical attraction between anions and cations Covalent bonding results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms
Ionic or Covalent? Bonding between atoms of different elements is rarely purely ionic or covalent. The degree of ionic or covalent bonding is determined by the differences in the electronegativity of the elements. Polar covalent bonds Nonpolar covalent bonds Ionic bonds
Covalent Bonding Polar Covalent: The difference in the elements electronegativities is 0.4-1.7 Non-Polar Covalent: slight to no difference in elements electronegativities (0-0.4)
6.2: Chemical Formulas Shows what is found in a chemical compound: Types of atoms Numbers of atoms Monatomic elements are represented by their atomic symbols: Helium: He If more than one atom is present, the number of atoms is represented with a subscript. Example: Hydrogen H 2
Molecular Compounds Molecules a neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds Consist of nonmetal-nonmetal bonds Molecular compound a chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules. Molecular formula- shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound.
Diatomic Molecules Diatomic Elements a group of elements that naturally exist as two atoms covalently bonded together Hydrogen H 2 Fluorine F 2 Oxygen O 2 Chlorine Cl 2 Bromine Br 2 Iodine I 2 Nitrogen N 2
Molecular Formula Shows the type of atoms and numbers present in a molecule of a compound Example: Molecular formula of water- H 2 O Notice there is no need for a subscript next to oxygen Tells us the composition of a molecule Does not tell us about the structure of the molecule (does not show the arrangement of the atoms)
Molecular models: There are a variety of models that describe the arrangement of molecules: NH 3
Formula Unit: Is used to represent an ionic compound A formula unit represents the lowest whole number ratio in a compound There is no such thing as a molecule of sodium chloride Ionic compounds exist as a collection of positively and negatively charged ions arranged in repeating 3-D patterns
Law of Definite Proportions In samples of any chemical compound, the masses of the elements are always in the same proportions Example: Magnesium Sulfide: 100g sample: breaks down to 43.13g of magnesium and 56.87g of sulfur Ratio: 43.13/56.87 =.7584:1 (Mg:S) This proportion remains the same no matter how many grams of MgS you have
Law of Multiple Proportions Definition: if two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers Examples: CO & CO 2 : 1:1 ratio & a 1:2 ratio H 2 O & H 2 O 2 : 2:1 ratio & a 2:2 ratio
Chemical Bonding An electrostatic force of attraction between two atoms, ions, or molecules The Octet Rule all atoms want 8 valence e- (full s and p) Exceptions: Hydrogen and Helium: Only want 2 e - Valence e - : Valence electrons: are the electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an element s atoms Lewis Dot Structures Use the name of the representative element group to determine the # of valence e - s
Valence electrons Grps 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A 8A Per. 2 Li Be B C N O F Ne e - config Lewis Dot s 1 s 2 s 2 p 1 s 2 p 2 s 2 p 3 s 2 p 4 s 2 p 5 s 2 p 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Lewis Dot Structures Electron dot structures are used to show the valence electrons. They are diagrams that show valence electrons as dots. Since valence electrons refer to the s and p sublevels, there can be a total of 8 electrons. Each dot represents an electron.
CHAPTER 6.5 MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
Properties of Molecular Substances Exist in all states of matter Melting points and boiling points are low compared to ionic compounds Some exceptions: Network Solids stable substances in which all of the atoms are covalently bonded to each other All atoms are interconnected Ex) Diamond & Silicon carbide
Allotropes Definition different forms of carbon with different types of bonding Carbon 3 allotropes 1. Graphite
Allotropes 2. Diamond
Allotropes 3. Buckminsterfullerene C 60
Binary molecular compounds: Composed of two non- metallic elements Ionic charges are not used to assign formulas or names When two non- metallic elements combine, they can often combine in more than one way Example: Carbon and Oxygen
Binary molecular compounds: Two molecular compounds composed of only carbon and oxygen: Carbon dioxide CO 2 Carbon monoxide CO Prefixes- tell how many atoms of each element are present in each molecule
Binary molecular compounds: PREFIX NUMBER MONO 1 DI 2 TRI 3 TETRA 4 PENTA 5 HEXA 6 HEPTA 7 OCTA 8 NONA 9 DECA 10
Rules for writing molecular compounds: 1. Use the prefix to tell you the subscript of each element in the formula 2. Write the correct symbols for the two elements, with the appropriate subscripts
Example: Tetraiodine nonoxide tetra = four, so I 4 non or nona = nine, so O 9 Formula: I 4 O 9
Examples: Write the following molecular formulas: sulfur trioxide phosphorus pentafluoride
CHAPTER 16 Covalent Bonding
Covalent Bonds Covalent bond: A bond between two nonmetals in which they share electrons to form a stable octet. Atoms can share 2 (single bond), 4 (double bond), or 6 (triple bond) electrons.
Rules for Drawing Dot Structures 1. Determine the number of shared electrons. (How many electrons do they need to obtain an octet?) 2. Place 1 pair of electrons in each bond. 3. Decide where any leftover bonding electrons should go. 4. Fill in the molecule with the rest of the electrons to give all atoms an octet.
Structural formulas Electron pairs in dot structures can be replaced by lines to make a structural formula. Single bond = 1 line Double bond = 2 lines Triple bond = 3 lines Cl-Cl O=O N N
Resonance Structures Resonance: when 2 or more equally valid electron dot structures can be written for a molecule Ozone: O 3 Proof: bond lengths are the same, there is no clear side for the single and the double bond
VSEPR Theory Unpaired electrons around a central atom play a large role in determining a molecule s 3-D shape Negatively charged electrons repel one another electron pairs in different orbital stay as far apart as possible
VSEPR THEORY Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Predicts the shapes of molecules Bonds are made from electron pairs bonding pairs lone pairs The bonding pairs and lone pairs around an atom are negatively charged and will get as far apart from each other as possible.
VSEPR Theory The tendency of electron pairs to adjust the orientation of their orbitals to maximize the distance between them Depends on the number of electrons or atoms bonded to a central atom Bond angle: shape characterized between the central atom and the atoms bonded to it
VSEPR THEORY VSEPR THEORY The number of electron pairs will determine the shape of the molecule Electron Pairs Orbital Angles 2 180 Linear Shape 3 120 Trigonal planar 4 109.5 Tetrahedral 4 (1 lone pair) 107 Trigonal pyramidal 4 105 Bent
VSEPR Shapes Linear Bent Trigonal Planar or Bent Trigonal Pyramidal Tetrahedral
Polarity of Covalent Bonds Polar bonds: Bonds with uneven sharing of electrons Non Polar Bonds: Bonds with even Sharing of electrons
Polarity of Molecules Polarity of molecules: Depends on bonds and shape of molecule. Nonpolar bonds only = Nonpolar molecule Polar bonds = Polar molecule or nonpolar molecule (equal and opposite pull)
Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular Forces An attractive force that operates between molecules * DO NOT confuse with bonds! * Bonds: attractive forces that hold atoms together in molecules IMF are much weaker than bonding forces
Intermolecular Forces van der Waals forces: collection of the weak interactions Types: 1. London dispersion force 2. Dipole-dipole force (already covered) 3. Hydrogen-bonding force
London Dispersion Forces Electrons are in constant motion and aren t always equally distributed Therefore they develop a temporary dipole, known as an induced dipole The effect passes onto other atoms, like a domino effect and so on, and so on London Dispersion Forces Attraction between temporary dipoles of molecules
London Dispersion Forces (L.D.F.) What do we know? 1. Occur between all atoms and molecules 2. The only intermolecular force at work in nonpolar substances 3. Relatively weak
Dipole-Dipole Forces Dipole-Dipole Force: Attractions among polar molecules Electronegativity of atoms determines which part is the: Partial positive ( +) Partial negative ( -) Positive and negative parts attract!
Hydrogen Bonding Hydrogen Bonding: An especially strong dipole-dipole force between polar molecules that contain hydrogen attached to a highly electronegative element Although, there is no bond between molecules in the usual sense H-bond is a special type of dipole-dipole force
Intermolecular forces Dispersion forces: attraction present in all molecules (increases with size) Dipole forces: attraction between polar molecules Hydrogen bonds: a very strong dipole in molecules with H-Cl, H-F, H-N bond
